  • Sheba has had a cough for years, especially when pollens counts are high. Benadryl at 1mg per pound and childrens robitussin( Robitussin DM) help reduce the inflamation and soothe the throat. Coughing can also be due to pneumonia, asthma, heart problems, and kennel cough.

    Thank you for this video. My Cavalier has an enlarged heart, but her hacking has recently been extremely bad, just all of the sudden. We are use to living in Southern California for 12 years, but were in Ohio now and all suffering from allergies. Even my other Cav without a heart murmur, is coughing some. Staying on top of her heart condition (MVP), but will try Benadryl to see if that is main cause right now, since it came on fast since being in Ohio. She does pant at night often, and I assume that is the heart :(. Had recent xray, but left without much direction

    Hello Dr. Martinez. I love all your videos I wished I lived in your area to take my three babies with you. I had a question about my 5 yr. old female Dachshund. After delivering 1 puppy 7 months ago she has become very antisocial in some aspects, she runs or stays in her kennel when it is time to go the restroom, she pees when you hold her or pet her, as well her reverse cough has worsened. I am not sure why this happening to her because the other to rascals are perfectly fine.

At some time he does seem to want to sneeze as well when he coughs and I am beginning to think he has allergies as well . Thank you for any helpful advice .

    We had several Australian Terriers (or Australian Terrors lol) ....aka 14-20llb Little Cairn Terrier type dogs (think "Toto" from Wizard of OZ). One thing common to every one of our Aussies was that they choked/coughed "on demand" like sheeba ...we actually could not even walk any of them on any regular collar because the moment it pressed their throats even a little they started coughing/choking ...turns out VERY common with the breed and the answer was to use harness rather than collar to walk em.... very sensitive larynx is what the vet said as I recall... lousy leash walkers!

    I have a St. Bernard puppy who is 10 weeks old and she just started a cough that sounded like that of kennel cough but she also has a runny nose. Her cough is random throughout the day and has been going on for a few days. It also seems as though she is not eating as much as she has been. I just want to make sure it is nothing serious and if I should use the coughing medicine for her even if she is a puppy. Our 2 other adult dogs have not coughed or anything yet.

    Weirdly my yr and half old pom I've had for a few months just started coughing and gagging at the end. She's been doing it on and off all night. Then some days nothing. Definitely not trachea because she's got no issue breathing and there's no visible stress. I keep them in a fenced in yard and they have not been around any new animals or dogs neither have I. I stay at home and my husband works at a hospital and all have had their vaccines like bordetella so I'm just thinking or hoping atleast that it's allergies and not some heart cough. I have a white pom named Rascal that's my dream pom and he is getting to be 7 yrs old soon and sometimes he gets little fits and notice it when he gets real excited buy no issues breathing. He breathes fine and don't hear any weezing or anything. His air way seems and sounds clear just has these fits from time to time.

    My 1 year old 5th generation Labradoodle seemed to start losing energy 3 weeks ago. A week ago he started serious wheezing where he sucked his stomach practically up into his chest cavity. After several wheezes he spits up some white, seemingly digestive opaque white to digestive phlegm. The episodes last about 30 seconds and happen 3 to 4 times a day. His lungs were shown to be clear, heart fine, pees and deficates in a healthy manor. I would appreciate any feedback on treatment I can get.

    My 4 pound dog suffers from acid reflux, as per the doctor. Every single time that she regurgitates, which is like 7 times a day.. she makes this “reverse sneeze “ kind of sound. Do you think that could be allergies ? I took her to see three different doctors and they just say the same thing, that the reverse sneeze has nothing to do with the regurgitation. Could it be food going thru the wrong pipe everytime she regurgitate? I am scared she is going to get pneumonia.

    Dr. Greg- I have a 3 year old Great Dane. We got her as a pup she got really sick We found out she had a red dye Allergy. That Aside She just had a litter of pups in november. They are now 18 weeks old and all of them of course are gone. About 3 weeks ago got bit by a spider and her face swelled up and vet put her on Cephalexin 500 mg 2 times a day. now that she is better from the spider bite she Now has developed retching while eating and after she eats, ( and she eats slow and her bowls are elevated- always has been ).and also foams while eating. Her gums are pink as wel as her gums are pink and her teeth look good. She has a Vet visit in a few days. Do you have any suggestions on what it could be ? Thanks in advance!

  • @daniellemeaghan1033

    I am so confused. We went to our vet because our 7 year old Pomeranian was coughing. He gave her cough syrup and an antibiotic for 7 days and she did not cough while on these two medications. When she was done, she started coughing again. We brought her back in and he then diagnosed her with congestive heart failure (took blood work and did X-rays). He then put her on Fortekor in the morning and Furosemide at night. We brought her in for a second opinion and the vet listened to her heart and did an electronic X-ray and told us he cannot see any indication of heart failure. That her heart is measured at 10.1 and up to 10.5 is normal for a Pomeranian. He did notice however that her trachea is narrow and says she has a collapsed trachea and not chf. We are doing an ultrasound to rule out chf completely but now she is on the heart medication and cough syrup and he recommends if she is still coughing after she is done the cough syrup that we put her on a bronchial support medication. The worst part about it all is the first vet gave her a shot of the diuretic and it got infected and she had to get surgery to take it out and he took the drains out to early and the incision split because the fluid was draining out of the incision instead of the drains. She then had to go for a second surgery. Wish I could get a definitive answer as to what is going on as two vets are saying completely different things.

      +Danielle Meaghan I lost my 13 year old Chi on March 26th while we were at our vacation home. We normally live at sea level and our vacation home is at about 6000 ft. My local vet had diagnosed her with chf a couple of years ago and we had her on Furosemide twice a day. Her cough never went away. But she had good days and bad days. When we got to our vacation home I noticed she was wheezing a bit. 12 hours later we were in the emergency vet's office with her gasping for air. We lost her that night. The emergency vet and her team ran a number of tests on her. But the one things she couldn't understand was why I was told she had chf. Had she actually had chf, she felt she should have been on additional medication besides the Furosemide. She said she had a very healthy heart and she should have actually been treated for COPD. The elevation change caused her inability to breathe that day. I'm struggling with guilt - she was my sweet girl. Parvo survivor and had been completely blind for the last few years too. We had all adjusted well to her special needs. But nothing can bring her back. I just wish I had thought to ask more questions and get another opinion. Sorry for the rambling - I wanted to share because I hope you are able to get a definite answer for your Pomeranian and get her the proper treatment for her condition. Wishing you the best.

      This is to both Danielle and Wendy... I just got back from the vet with my Jack Russell she's about 12 or 13 years old. She's had that cough and hack for 3 months now ending in a gag first the doctor told me he thought it was kennel cough so he prescribed two different antibiotics. It didn't help and it got worse took her back in one night and they did aside x-ray of her and told me she either had a collapsed lung chamber or tumors in her lungs. The Specialist to look at her x-rays concluded that she has a couple of tumors in her lung. Inoperable obviously. I asked how much longer I have with my baby girl and I was told there's no way of knowing unless would biopsy it. I'm not going to put my dog through that nor can I afford it. What I'm trying to tell you is obviously veterinary medicine is not an exact science... Which is disheartening to me to say the least. Babygurl just finished a 20-minute bout of hacking and gagging. I've asked the Lord to give me the wisdom to know when to put her down. What I'm trying to say is misdiagnosis happen every day apparently... My vet could be right or wrong now that I've read both of your stories I don't even know what to think anymore. We've had babygurl for almost 8 years now. She's my road dog... Literally. I take her everywhere with me unless I'm going to work, that's the only place she does not go with me as to work. Not as to work but into work. I'm going to try the Robitussin DM with her like this veterinarian suggested. If anything it'll suppressor cough and help her sleep... I think DM helps you sleep. I don't want to put her down before it's time... I'm going to miss her so very much. I'm sorry for Rambling On and On I'm using voice to text and I've just got so much to say about her. sorry I wrote you a mini novel

    my dog has had a cough like this for many years and it breaks my heart to see him waking in the night uncomfortable. we took him for an echocardiogram or something like that and his heart was ok, although it had a murmur. and they said MAYBE some signs of bronchitis. How could bronchitis last for YEARS? If i treat him for bronchitis and he doesn't have it is it bad?

I seen him make a leg splint for a sheep or goat can't remember which one out of a old metal broom or mop handle that was laying in a closet, he set the leg bent the rod, taped it up n 6 weeks later, good as new. So amazing. He teaches himself and reads books. That's why he will see any animal, farm, wild, exotic, and domestic....he's dutch.luv him

    Maybe you can help me, please. We have a senior age cairn terrier. We have had him for over five years. We adopted him from Austin Pets Alive! out on Lavander Loop. On his papers, when we brought him, no sign of kennel cough, but ever since that day, when we got him home, he has been coughing. It is sporadic, harsh, but mixed. It can be a goose-honking like cough; other times, hacking and forceful...sometimes, it is just small, short coughs. Sometimes, sneezing and reverse sneezing also happen with it. He will also notably just look at me and cough. He will do it also for attention or if he wants something. Notably, he does not do it at times outside and definitely not when he is eating, sleeping, or drinking. We've seen his symptoms...other than the cough, nothing heart-related or kennel cough related. He eats, he drinks, he goes outside, and shows zero signs of respiratory distress. Is it allergy related? Is it an attention cough? There is no phlegm behind it; so, it is not a moist cough and it is not persistent either. However, it is chronic enough that we think he has either asthma or chronic bronchitis. No sign of nasal mites either...Any help would be helpful here. We've been using Benadryl and, at times, doxycycline to treat it as we are not sure whether it is an infection. Believe me, any help would be helpful and we would be grateful for it. His cough is getting us frustrated and we just want to know what we do for him to get the fur baby feeling better. That's it.

    • @amandaalvis5958
      @amandaalvis5958 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@Ssandyyy-- Well, it turns out it was multiple things...part behavioral, part actual thing. The actual thing was allergies. He is allergic to cedar and juniper which are in abundance in Austin. Hopefully, with the move, those allergies will go down considerably. As to the behavioral thing, can we just say that, after his cold last winter, he got smart.
      Turns out, especially after that, he figured out he can manipulate his humans by coughing. Now, this is my little guy; yours might be different. However, he got clever and has been using it as an attention cough/a fake cough to get extra things around the house. Turns out dogs are clever and can be trained to do that. He does it for chicken soup (just plain chicken broth, no salt or anything) as well as for anything else he wants...extra walks and the like.
      So, turns out, the only thing that is actually wrong is allergies. The rest he has been playing us for five years straight. It''s like barking with him, but without the bark...he gets his point across. Separation anxiety from me also plays into it as well. Right now, we are all dealing with cedar fever and that's what has been making him feel worse and snotty, same thing with me. So, that's the story. However, turns out that we cannot train him out of the attention cough. We tried; so, now, we just adapt to it. Since we figured it out, he has toned it down as he has been found out though.

    My 6 year old Bichon Frise has that deep cough that Sheba did, but he gags at the end. I don't know what it is and I don't have money to go to the vet. He's been doing this for years, but it always gets worse in the winter. Now that Imoved to Florida, the cold and humid winter is taking a hard toll on Max. Should I give him some Children's Robitussin or should I try the Benadryl to see if it's actually allergies? I'm thinking about he Benadryl since there are a lot of plants releasing pollen right now and there are plants that Max nor I have been exposed to before. He's 15lbs, so I'm thinking about giving him 15mg doses for a few days and seeing if it helps. Only question is how do I dose him? The only Benadryl I have is in 25mg capsules. I'd love some help.

    Thank you for posting this video! My 11 yo puggle, Sammy, has been coughing for over a year now. It's a wheezing, gag-like cough, like he's trying to get something out of his throat. Kennel Cough was negative. X-rays reveal "thickened airways" and recently our vet said his lungs look a little denser than normal. No signs of heart problems or blood levels to indicate cancer. Lipomas are confirmed fatty tissue. Treatments of antibiotics and Temaril P reduce lessen the cough, but it comes back. He's been on an LID all his life - he throws up regular brand dog food. No treatments to date have stopped the cough. I think he's allergic to something causing the reaction in his airways/ Do you have any suggestions. Thank you Dr. Martinez!
